Mercia Marina

Fair bit of wind blew yesterday so reversing into our allocated mooring at Mercia was a little difficult to say the least. Of course we were being watched by all and sundry enjoying the tea rooms at the marina but Ian, with a lot of forward and aft, managed the manoeuvre successfully. The cost for our week here is just over £51 which I didn't think was to bad. Electric hook up is of course charged extra and we purchased a card for £5. Somehow I don't think we will use it all. We've already been here 24hours and have only used 60p. As I'm of to Milton Keynes tomorrow and only the fridge will be on, the next person to use this mooring will have a pleasant surprise.

We have had one problem since being here. Judy is again being awkward about getting of the boat. This time the pontoon is freaking her out. The boards have gaps in them ( well most pontoons have ) and Judy is very unhappy about stepping on them. It took both of us to coax her onto it. It could be her eyesight or the feel of the spaces between her toes. We will never know but finally we managed to walk her to the grassed area a few yards away. Shes not to bad now and of that I'm very glad  because Ian has left for Sweden leaving me to cope on my own.

Early morning overlooking the Marina. The mist was rising and not a sole soul?????? ( which spelling is correct???) about.
